Barbara Gelfand
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
We all have a desire to be heard, to be understood, and to be soothed. We often yearn for more satisfying and loving relationships. In therapy, I will listen carefully to you as we sort through obstacles that may be preventing you from experiencing greater ease and happiness. I will bear witness to your life stories, acknowledge your successes and struggles, and help you to find renewed resilience, acceptance and change. I'm patient and open-minded, and provide an empathic therapy space. I believe true healing occurs when we take care of our whole self in mind, body and spirit.

Ryan Ramsey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
“In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities; in the expert’s mind there are few.” This Zen Buddhist quote guides my way of being a therapist. I strive to keep a “beginner’s mind”: to stay curious, open, and humble. To not assume things, or forget the uniqueness of every person and situation I encounter as a therapist. My aim is to stay present to what is happening, not to “fix” you or tell you how to live, but to use my awareness to help you find your own answers and to define your own path.
We’re just going to talk. To slow down, be present, and to notice thoughts, emotions, and patterns. We’ll be real and we’ll be honest. You can express yourself without pressure and without fear of judgement here.
The next step is to just reach out: call, email, or visit my website to book an initial consultation. I look forward to talking with you.

Christine Henry
Psychologist, Ph.D
As a neurodivergent therapist, I enjoy working with adults who are exploring or have recently discovered that they are ADHD, autistic, or both. We can find ways to adapt the world to better suit you instead of trying to fit into neurotypical standards. Learn how to improve your connections with others, strategies to regulate emotions, increase motivation, find more fulfillment at your job,
and even experience moments of joy. I also specialize in grief, childhood, and religious trauma.
